Solar Screens Available With Grid - Cross Bar Grid Paned Window Screen

Solar Screen With Colonial Grid
Solar screens have great benefits, and save homeowners money on summer AC bills, especially in sunny Austin. For those that prefer the look of window panes or crossbar separations, solar screens are available with grid patterns. Window grid patterns commonly used in the Austin area include colonial, prairie and horizontal bar.

Solar screens can be crafted to emulate different styles of paned windows including arched window radiating panes.

Solar Screen With Cross Bars Close Up Outside View
The idea behind the grid pattern added to the solar screen is to preserve the original window panes. For instance with colonial windows (seen here) the solar screen can duplicate the cross bars so that the look and feel of the original window is preserved, overlaying the same bar structure over the window with the solar window screen.

Below is another view of the solar screen with a colonial grid pattern. This is the outside view of the solar screen.
Solar Screen With Cross Bars Creates Paned Window Esthetic
Solar screens with grids can be utilized to create the paned window esthetic whether your current windows are paned or not.

Here I set the solar screen on my rock wall and took a close up through the screen. The solar screen has the look of the traditional colonial paned window from within or without.

Solar Screen Custom Grid - On A Budget

The grid addition to the solar screen is a custom add-on and is crafted to your individual window. For the homeowner on a budget, we suggest grids on the street facing windows and a simple divider or blank screens for the side and backside of the home.
